Tell us and it may come to fruition!

Wiltshire Council is committed to helping residents create and sustain a strong sense of community spirit and involvement. We want to encourage and support local communities to get involved and work with us to strengthen their ability to deal with local challenges.
We firmly believe that strong communities can cope with changing and challenging circumstances and they will often find their own solutions to many of the problems they face.
Part of this is ensuring that communities have their say and feel able to influence their local council and other public service organisations in the work we do and the decisions we make.
Recognising that people have, over time, become disengaged from their communities and local democracy, in Wiltshire we have encouraged local residents to get involved with community issues through Area Partnerships and Area Boards. This has resulted in real benefits including, for example, an increase in the number of residents becoming engaged in voluntary activity and the provision of funding for local community projects.
As part of our ongoing campaign to capture local ideas from local people we’re asking you ‘what’s your idea?’. Already people across the county are seeing their ideas become reality with help from the council and its partners.
If you have a good idea that you feel would make a real difference to where you live, get in touch with us by emailing whatsyouridea@wiltshire.gov.uk or by contacting your local Area Board manager who can advise you how it may be possible to progress your idea or explain different options around funding.
